Age, 48; beloved wife of Joe Pirrami for 22 beautiful years; loving mother of Emily, Ella and Avery; cherished daughter of David and Susan Lauck; treasured sister of Kevin (Mary) Lauck, Dawn (Steve Davis) Lauck and Denise (Mark) Beyers; adored aunt to many nieces and nephews; she is also survived by her beloved Daisy; Amanda was a woman of profound warmth whose radiant smile could instantly brighten any room.

Her family was her world; whether they were traveling together, cheering at her children’s sports games, or sharing in everyday moments. A proud Buffalonian, Amanda’s heart beat for her hometown and her beloved Buffalo Bills. Her true happy place was by the ocean, finding peace in the sound of the waves, and she was deeply moved by the music she loved. Amanda’s boundless love and devoted spirit leave an everlasting mark on everyone who knew her.
